'''Ranked mode''' is a game mode in Deadlock for competitive players to compete with other players of similar skill levels. By winning matches and performing well, players may earn badges for their profile depending on the highest rank they achieve.


Ranked mode was first added to the game on {{Update link|October|10|2024}}, replaced by the [[Skill Rating]] system on {{Update link|November|21|2024}}, and re-introduced on {{Update link|July|30|2026}}.
Medals are updated once per week, requiring at least 7 games played within that week to receive a rank. <ref>[[Update:October_10,_2024|October 10th update, adding Ranked Mode]]</ref>


The first ranked season, called '''Beta Season 1''', started in July 30, 2026 and will end in October 7, 2026.
Ranked mode was added to the game on [[Update:October_10,_2024|October 10th]], but was not publicly available until October 15th. Medals were granted the following Tuesday, on October 22nd.

== Overview ==
[[File:Ranked terminal.jpg|thumb|The Ranked terminal]]
The rank badge can be found by viewing the profile. An additional small icon is displayed when hovering other player's profiles and on the hero's icon in the end game stats.
Players can view their ranks and the leaderboards in the rank menu in the [[Hideout]], represented by a chalkboard that displays the player's current rank or placement progress and their performance in their most recent ranked match. The machine next to the chalkboard prints a ticker tape showing the player's recent match results as well (red for losses and green for wins).


Players eligible for Ranked must complete 8 placement matches. Upon completing placements, the highest '''starting rank''' a player can achieve is Oracle VI.
In order to play, players:
* Must have 50 games played
* Must have zero behavior-related restrictions (Voice/text bans, report misuse, etc.)


=== Requirements ===
== Ranks ==
Ranked mode has the following minimum requirements:
Players are grouped into the below ranks, with Eternus as the highest and most skilled rank available.
* 60 wins in standard mode
* 3 heroes unlocked for ranked
** A hero needs 15 wins in standard mode to be unlocked in ranked


Players also cannot queue for ranked if they have any matchmaking restrictions or bans, and cannot queue in parties of more than 2 players. Placement matches can only be played solo. Players in a party can only be up to 1 rank apart, and in Eternus they have to be up to 3 subranks apart.
Within each rank, players are assigned a subrank from I to VI. The ranks, from lowest to highest are:


=== Rank Points ===
* Obscurus†
Players will win or lose around 300 rank points for each match, slightly adjusted based on matchmaking quality and increased on win streaks.
* Initiate
* Seeker
* Alchemist
* Arcanist
* Ritualist
* Emissary
* Archon
* Oracle
* Phantom
* Ascendant
* Eternus


Ranking up a subrank requires 1000 points, and ranking up to the next rank requires 2000 points. The exception is Eternus, in which the rank requirements per subrank are instead percentile-based.
†Players that have not yet earned a medal for the week will have the "Obscurus" Rank


Upon reaching the lowest threshold in a subrank, the player has 2 matches of rank protection before ranking down. Before going down a full rank, they have 5 matches of rank protection. This is indicated by shield icons under the player's rank progress bar.

=== Pre-Match phase ===
During the pre-match phase, players have 30 seconds to switch lanes, and/or change to another hero that they have unlocked by opening the "Change Hero" menu. Each player can only change heroes once. Players can't see if the enemy team has changed heroes. If a player tries to change to a hero that another player in either team has already picked, that hero will be unavailable for them.
 
3 heroes can be banned in ranked matches (1 more than in Standard).
 
=== Abandons ===
If a player abandons a match before 5 minutes, the match becomes unscored and safe to leave for all players except for the leaver and their duo.
 
If they abandon after 5 minutes, the match becomes unscored and safe to leave only for the leaver's team, unless they manage to win. If all players on that team leave, the match ends and the enemy team wins. If a player on the enemy team also leaves, the same rules apply to that team (the match is unscored unless the team wins).
 
=== Leaderboards ===
The Global leaderboard showcases the top 1,000 Deadlock players per region, as well as up to 3 of their highest-rated heroes. Hero leaderboards showcase the top 1,000 players of each hero available in Normal mode, per region.
 
A player needs to have played a minimum of 75 matches in the past 30 days to appear in the global leaderboard, and a minimum of 30 matches with a specific hero in the past 30 days, as well as 100 wins total with that hero, to appear in that hero's leaderboard.
 
The leaderboard regions are North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.
 
== Ranks ==
Players are grouped into the below ranks, with Eternus as the highest and most skilled rank available.
 
Within each rank, players are further assigned a subrank from I to VI, with VI the highest subrank. The ranks, from lowest to highest are:
